SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. General

    The Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988 (Pub. L. 
100-503), amended the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) by describing the 
conditions under which computer matching involving the Federal 
government could be performed and adding certain protections for 
persons applying for, and receiving, Federal benefits. Section 7201 of 
the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-508) further 
amended the Privacy Act regarding protections for such persons.
    The Privacy Act, as amended, regulates the use of computer matching 
by Federal agencies when records in a system of records are matched 
with other Federal, State, or local government records. It requires 
Federal agencies involved in computer matching programs to:
    (1) Negotiate written agreements with the other agency or agencies 
participating in the matching programs;
    (2) Obtain approval of the matching agreement by the Data Integrity 
Boards of the participating Federal agencies;
    (3) Publish notice of the computer matching program in the Federal 
Register;
    (4) Furnish detailed reports about matching programs to Congress 
and OMB;
    (5) Notify applicants and beneficiaries that their records are 
subject to matching; and
    (6) Verify match findings before reducing, suspending, terminating, 
or denying a person's benefits or payments.

B. SSA Computer Matches Subject to the Privacy Act

    We have taken action to ensure that all of our computer matching 
programs comply with the requirements of the Privacy Act, as amended.

Glenn Sklar,
Acting Executive Director, Office of Privacy and Disclosure, Office of 
the General Counsel.

Notice of Computer Matching Program, SSA With the Department of the 
Treasury, the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (Fiscal Service)

A. Participating Agencies

    SSA and Fiscal Service.

B. Purpose of the Matching Program

    The purpose of this matching program sets forth the terms, 
conditions, safeguards, and procedures under which Fiscal Service will 
disclose savings security data to us. We will use the data to determine 
continued eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) applicants 
and recipients, or the correct benefit amount for recipients and 
deemors who did not report or incorrectly reported ownership of savings 
securities.

C. Authority for Conducting the Matching Program

    The legal authority for this matching program is executed under the 
Privacy Act of 1974, 5 United States Code (U.S.C.) 552a, as amended by 
the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988, as amended, 
and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder.
    The legal authority for us to conduct this matching program is 
contained in 1631(e)(1)(B), and 1631(f) of the Social Security Act 
(Act), (42 U.S.C. 1383(e)(1)(B), and 1383(f)).

will provide a response record providing match results to us, which 
will contain approximately 1.8 million records.
    Exchanges for this computer matching program will occur twice a 
year, in approximately February and August. We will furnish Fiscal 
Service with the SSN and name for each individual when requesting 
savings-securities registration information. When a match occurs on an 
SSN, Fiscal Service will disclose the following to us from Treasury/

    a. The denomination of the security;

    c. The series;
